TEMPERANCE.
WORK WITHOUT BEER


I've worked in the heat, and I've worked in the
cold,
I've worked with the young, and I've worked
with the old,
I've worked very late. and I've worked very
soon,
I've worked by the sun. and I've worked by the
moon;
But I'm sure can tell you, without any fear,
lean work very well without any beer.
I've worked far from home, and I've worked
rather nigh,
I've worked in the wet and I've worked in the
dry,
I've worked amongst corn, and I've worked
amongst rye,
I've worked by the piece, and I've worked by
the day;
And I'm sure can tell you, without any fear,
can work very well without any beer.
I've worked amongst lime, and I've worked
amongst chalk,
I'VE worked amongst still folks and those that
could talk
I've worked amongst iron and I've worked
amongst wood,
I've worked amongst bad, and I've worked
amongst good;
But wherever I go there's nothing to fear
So much as the foolish made foolish by beer
I've written and read, I've summed and I've
talked,
I've been out on pleasure with friends, and I've
walked,
But never no never, good use could see
In taking strong drink, so hurtful to me;
Thus, I'm sure can tell you, without any fear,
These things can be managed without any
beer.

HOW TO LOAD HAY.
A Common-Sense Method Worthy of G


A Common-Sense Method Worthy of Cen
era1 Adoption.
The ease of pitching load of hay off
the wagon by hand depends mainly on
the way it was loaded. Loads to be
''hand-pitched' should always be built
by some method or plan. If, as is Oft
en- the custom, each forkful is distrib-
uted over the entire surface, or at ran
dom, the hay will be so interviewer
that a forkful can not be taken up
without lifting three or four times it's
weight in tearing it loose. 1t is i'm
practicable to build around the load,
as is done with bundles of wheat. Tho
most satisfactory method the writer
ever practiced, is as follows: Begin at
back end of rack and build up across
the end three or four feet wide and two
or three feet high. The loader can
stand on the bottom of the rack and
lay the abutment up loose. After this
is as high as desired, begin to lay the
forkfuls against the front of it in a
slanting position and continue to the
end of the load. Build an abutment at
this end and return toward the back
end, placing the hay in the same man.
ner as before. Continue this opera
ton of placing each layer in the oppo-
site direction from the one upon which
it rests until the load is high enough.
The loader can tramp ON one layer
while putting layer in opposite direc-
ton above it in place.
By this method one can learn to
make shapely loads that will ride bet
ter than the hap-hazard load; but the
principal advantage is found when it is
pitched off, for by following the layers
in the reverse order. every forkful is
easily detached. While the stack is
low, the stacker will find trouble in
handling the hay as fast as the man on
the load can roll it off to him. The
line of division between the layers is
easily found, as the hay above and be-
low lays nearly at right angles. In
fact, it will not come up any other way
than by going the reverse direction
from that followed in loading, and the
load can be pitched off in two-thirds
the time of one built hap-hazard.-

A FATAL CURSE.

The Saloon the Most Potent Instrument
of Evil in Our Modern Civilization.
Two centuries ago Lord Bacon eX-
pressed the opinion that "nOt one man
in thousand dies natural death; and
most diseases have their rise from in
temperance. And a later writer ex-
presses truth in sociology when he
remarks: eff alcohol were unknown,
half the sin and three-fourths of the
poverty and unhappiness would disap-
pear from the world.' Yet it is not so
much the appalling evils which come
upon the drinker himself through his
indulgence, as it is those which fall
upon our social system through the
open saloon, which compels men to be
drunkards, to which the attention of
the people should be directed. Every
beer saloon is primary school in in
temperance; every gilded drinking-hell
is an academy wherein men graduate
in this vice. As an instrument of evil,
the saloon is the most potent in our
modern civilization.

checked, our institutions will perish,
and religion and civilization will per-

as true of America as they are of En-

idle utterance of an alarmist. 1t is an
opinion that is gaining ground among
the educated and thinking class that a
grave danger rs impending from

self upon our civilization, and threat
ems to destroy it. That dangerous par
asite is the saloon. 1t is true that
every race of mankind has its besetting
sin; and the especial sin of the men of
the Anglo-Saxon race is that of intem-
perance. The lesson Of history is that
every great civilization the world has
yet known has persisted because of
some vice, which grew to such giant
proportions as to paralyze the energies
of the people. The danger to the civil
ization of the nineteenth century in
America is from drunkenness. And
the saloon is but the organized means
of fostering this curse and bringing
men under its domination. - Toledo

his friends, cursing every body mean
while and charging his enemy to meet
him in the morning or he would shoot
him at sight. Knowing the Irishman
would be armed again before he was
sober, Frenchy, careful to keep his eye
upon the group, edged himself side-
wise out of the saloon.
The next day he was nowhere to be
seen. His non-appearance caused
much uncomplimentary remark, it be-
ing generally decided he was not the
game man he was supposed to be. All
through the morning the Irishman,
with several hangers-on, ranged
through the town, declaring he would
shoot the bloody frog-eater whenever
he could find him. The report of a
boy, who had gone to his home up the
canyon late the night before, that he
had seen, on his way, Rita, the Por-
tuguese girl, and a smooth-faced man
walking back and forth near her faith
er's cabin, did not tend to soothe his
wrath, but he nevertheless took care to
keep himself perfectly sober.
The truth was, Frenchy knew his
adversary was intimate with number
of desperadoes like himself, who, if he
offered fair fight, would be sure to in
some way arrange things to his disad-
vantage. He was not favorite of the
gamblers and saloon proprietors.
There were beside two or three fell
lows who, likewise disappointed of the
fair Portuguese, naturally made COM

not sure of any one in the canyon on
whom he could depend. So he deter

a VISION uNvAILEp.


One day a mighty King, whose pomp and
Were known and honored, chanted far and
wide,
Was bowed In grief his infant son had died
Great bells were tolling and nations moan
With every rite by wealth or knowledge
known
Mourned With the monarch, weeping on his
throne
That morn hovel By the palace side
Contained pauper infant who had died,
Its ragged mother weeping at Its side.
Next day the royal eortege with its freight
Met this poor pauper at the graveyard gate;
The widow turned aside, compelled to wait.
And when departing royalty gave room,
There, lone and lonely n the twilight gloom,
She placed her pauper baby in its tomb.
Night came. The King couched on his bed OF
state,
In visions saw an angel and its mate
Bear both these infants to Heavens golden
gate.
But 10; the guardian waved his shining
And he who bore the prince, with modest
glance,
Knelt low and babe his radiant mate advance.
While through the portals angel voices came
And chanted welcomes in the sacred name
or one who died on earth and bore its blame.
And much he marveled, as they marched
along
To see that glorihed and sanity throng
Select the pauper for its sweetest song.
Then, questioning an angel at his side.
" We care naught here" he said, ",or earthly
pride,
'As for all souls our glorious Master died.
''Yet mid the poor He spent His earthly day,
And most He loves, though loving all are they
WHO through great tribulations find their way.
40 King remember that thy earthly state
is but gilded toy bestowed by fate,
Nor wealth nor pride can make thee truly
great"
The vision vanished; but thepceforth the King
Engraved its lesson on his signet ring,
And all the poor his kiAdly virtues sing.
No humble soul presents in vain its plea,
No pleading hearts his gentle presence flee,
No man so patient and SO kind as he.
And whatsoever tempted by his pride,
He glances at the signet's lettered side,
And finds thereon his monitor and guide.

Suggestive for the Countless Owners OF
Small Pocket-Books.
A white bed-spread, costing the small
amount of $1.20, was made last week
by clever little housekeeper and is
pretty enough to warrant description.
The material used was five yards of
white curtain scrim of a very open pat
tern, costing seven cents a yard. 1t
was joined down the center by an in
sertion of Torchon lace, two and half
yards, at five cents yard, and bor-
dered with three-inch wide flouncing
of the same lace at six cents yard.
The top and sides were edged, not the
bottom, and nine yards were required.
Five yards of blue paper muslin to
place under the spread cost fifteen
cents, and it looks as we'll as many
costly ones of lace. She is now busily
engaged in making a similar spread
for another bed, with the exception
of the lace. In its place will be a
flounce of the scrim, and with pillow
shams to match the cost will be but
seventy cents.
Every one who dislikes mosquitoes
can not afford a canopy and netting,
but an excellent substitute for one is a
plain piece of netting costing about
forty cents. To arrange this over the
bed take strong cord, fasten it at the
center or top of the bed's head with a
small tack, and again at the foot; place
similar pieces at the sides, and over
these drape the net. 1t may be rolled
up during the daytime, and will be
found as comfortable and secure against
mosquitoes as any canopy.
Another arrangement for beds with
low head-boards is made as follows:
Take common child's hoop, cover the
top with netting, fasten it with strong
thread, then sew the long pieces to it.
Enough should be used to 90 once and
quarter about the bed and the length
be about six or seven feet. Then take
six strong pieces of tape and cross the
top of the hoop. These should be
about two feet longer than the hoop
and caught in the center with strong
loop. Fix screw hook in the ceiling
directly over the center of the bed;
and up the canopy and drape it about
the bed, letting it touch the floor The
widths of netting should not be sewn
together, but Tapped over about quar-
ter of yard. This will prevent the
mosquitoes entering and give an en-
trance and exit.
An ice-box is one of the necessities
of life and yet there are many families
who can not afford one. A homemade
ice-box was made last week. A large
box was purchased for twenty cents,
and this was lined with strong oil
cloth, a hole being bored in the bottom
for the water to run out. This was set
up on four square pieces of wood; the
top of the box was lined with oil-cloth,
tackled on as door by little hinges of
leather and fastened with strap of the
leather over a nail. The box has two
shelves. The ice is placed on the bot
tom and there Is ample room for all
food. Fresh meat is only kept in it by
placing it directly on the ice. This Ice
box is washed every morning and is
considered quite gem. Its entire cost
was fifty cents. IN. 7. journal.

LONDON, March 28th.-In the House
of Commons, Dillon, in reply to Bal
four, said that this Coercion bill
would never pass into law. He be
ieved that if the people of England
were capable of sanctioning the meas
ure he wanted to give up forever the
hope of seeing the Irish and English
shake hands. The Irish people
would be slaves indeed, if they sub
mitted to it. Either he would leave
a country where no Irishman could
live unless he lived like a slave, or,
if the people were willing, he would
be proud and happy to lead them to
battle. If this Coercion bill passed,
neither the Land Purchase bill nor
any other Irish measure would live to
be applied at the hands Of the
English Parliament.
A conference of Liberal Unionists
will be held at the DeYonshire House
on Thursday to consider the Coercion
bill. Lord Harrington and Mr.. Cham
berlain will give a thorough support
to the whole of the proposals. The
threatened detection of Unionists
will probably not exceed ten votes,
leaving the Government still with a
majority.
The Parnellites held an informal
meeting and united in denouncing
what they termed the atrocious char
acter of the Coercion bill. The meas
ure they said, conceal under its pro-
visions, powers for the extinction of
the liberties of the press, public
meetings, free speech, and all indi-
vidual rights.
Lord Harrington is about to issue a
manifesto through the new Unionist
paper. In it he says: "We are con
fronted at the present moment with a
more acute form Of the problem in
Ireland than has ever been presented
in past days. The difficulties of the
problem have been intensified by the
action of the Liberals, who have
made a change of front unparalleled in
completeness and rapidity, and
adopted policy to avoid their enc
mics. Their action has stimulated
the courage and hope of the Separa-
fists.

When the horrible scene was ended
Renyi was taken back to the apart
ment where he was confined, but as it
was discovered that the poor fellow

subjected, his captors allowed him to
live after they had robbed him of all
